ASYNC ROUTER AR-P, AR-5, AND SYNC ROUTER USER’S MANUAL

6. From the local PC running RouterVu, ping the remote Router using the following command:

routervu -p remote_Router_name

If the ping is not successful, wait approximately 45 seconds (if you’re using modems) for the call between the local and remote Routers and try the ping again. If the ping is successful, continue to step 7.

If a ping response is not displayed, then log in to the local Router and do the following:

routervu local_Router_name

Log in as root. Check the status of the WAN connection:

For dialup interfaces (modems, sw56), enter:

dialup interface status

look for called out or serving call.

For leased-line interfaces (sync0), enter:

ppp sync 0

Look for IPXCP Opened.

7.Find the remote NetWare fileserver in the output from step 2 above. If the remote fileserver is named DAFFYII, the it should look similar to:

DAFFYII 00000043.00801B027520 (IPX File Server)

This entry shows that “server_name” has an internal IPX network number of 43 (in hexadecimal) and has an Ethernet address of 000000000001.

If you find an entry for the remote NetWare file server, continue with step 8.

If you do not see an entry for the remote NetWare fileserver, ask your associate at the other end of the link to see if a SAP entry is present for it on the remote Router.
